Hotels near Église Saint-Nicolas, La Rochelle

Arrived after cycling in the rain for most of the day so we were a bit dirty. The reception staff were not very welcoming and made me feel uncomfortable. The secure bicycle parking was outside in the car park and not even under cover. Whilst the room was nice and the bed comfortable the shower was poorly designed. The shower cubicle was tiny and the doors opened inward so getting in and out was difficult. The vent was in a cubicle next to the shower and did not do anything to remove steam. There was black mould on the ceiling above the shower and the tiles had been painted and this was peeling off. This is a very overpriced hotel for what it offers, there are other hotel chains that offer better quality and better value for money. It is located about 1.5 kilometres from the old town and there was nothing close by.

Gorgeous boutique hotel right on Vieux port making it in the heart of the buzz around the port but noise wasn’t an issue at all. Everything was accessible and within a few minutes walk. Bus from the airport stopped right outside the hotel, train station is a 5 minute walk away. Room is v small and a bit cluttered but view from the room made up for it. Didn’t have a balcony (a few rooms have) but we loved looking out our window at the buzz around the port and watching the entertainment. It was spotlessly clean and was cleaned daily. Bathroom was bright and had great lighting, a rare in some hotels where you can barely see without turning all all lights. Minibar including water, coke and iced tea included which was a nice touch. Also got a plate of macarons and a little welcome card which again was lovely. Safe also included free of charge. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of sockets to charge phones etc. Staff were wonderful and so friendly. Didn’t have breakfast as there are so many places to chose from in the city. La Rochelle was amazing and I will hopefully come back and would have no hesitation in staying in La Tour de Nesle again.

This hotel is in a fantastic location, in the middle of many shops and restaurants. International brand shopping is within walking distance. The views from the window are outstanding. The bed is comfortable. The front desk staff was very helpful in recommending places to eat and other sites. My only complaint is that I found several hairs in the shower upon inspecting the room. This issue should be addressed with housekeeping.

Great location close to all cafés, restaurants and marina. Clean stylish room, comfy bed, good self service breakfast - though at busy times finding a table can be a problem. If you like your window open during the night expect some noise from the surrounding streets. Five minute walk to underground carpark with special hotel rate. Recommended.

Really was a teeny, tiny room and sleeping in a cupboard describes it extremely well, having said that it was ideal for a quick one night stay for 2 adults, don’t think I would like to have stayed any longer as not much storage, but the storage they had was quite effective. The bed was large enough and very comfortable but as someone said, the mattress protector was very cheap quality and made the bed so very hot, also the air conditioning was not that brilliant but it had been in the high 30 at the time of our stay so may have been that the air con could not cope with the heat. We actually slept on top of the duvet, solving the problem of the hot mattress protector and used the bottom sheet as a cover. Ibis really could do with sorting this problem out as it is not ideal. We felt the hotel was in a quiet position, felt safe and we did not have any problems with noisy street noise or noisy neighbours. The shower was very good. Not a lot of street parking but we managed to get in and it felt quite safe to leave the car, worked out at €4 for 2 hours and free between the hours of 12-2 and 6pm - 9am in the morning, free all day Sunday. There is one delivery space that you can pull in at for 10 mins if dropping luggage off and if available, but bare in mind this is a one way street so you can not block it with your car for unloading purposes. The Verdun car park is quite close by, maybe a 5-10 minute walk and apparently only €1 for the day at the weekend. The day we arrived it was torrential rain so we were glad of the street parking. Did not have breakfast as lots of bars and boulangeries nearby. Check in and out was 12pm. The staff were friendly and helpful, they also have luggage storage. One tip, just be careful with travel adaptors, the charging points are sort of upside down behind a kind of light baffle affair and very easy to unplug your devise and leave the adaptor behind….anyone wanting one you will find ours in room 107!

The hotel is in service, health, breakfast, etc. everything is fine.

My favorite hotel on a recent driving trip in France. Rooms were nice size and felt new, clean, and luxury level. Breakfast, while perhaps a bit expensive, was very good with the best scrambled eggs, and all the other usual items you would expect on a breakfast buffet. All the staff were nice and gave me good parking tips. The hotel is in a good location just a couple blocks from the cathedral and about a 10 minute walk down to all the waterside cafes and restaurants. At the desk they gave me a map for a walking tour of New Rochelle. For me, an unexpected find was the 'Bunker Museum' if you are interested in WWII. Tip: about 12 minutes walk north is patisserie 'Reveur de Pain' -- make sure you have the right one as there is at least one other patisserie that you will pass before you get there -- anyway, Reveur de Pain is not to be missed. (You can also drive up there if you have a car.) Oh, yes, the most convenient parking for the hotel is if you can get the outdoor lot at Place Verdun. If full, you can go to the more expensive indoor lot, and then move your car later.

We called to see if they had a room for one night, and so we arrived to a very friendly welcome after yet another tiring journey plus driving through Rochelle was a bit of a nightmare.. We were welcomed by the lovely Christiane and after the formalities of checking in we made our way to our allocated room. First impressions Wow! A huge room overlooking a beautiful garden, a lovely big shower, separate toilet, and a comfortable lounge area complete with a fridge stocked with some water, and a coffee machine The bed was large and very comfortable - everything was just so! Apart from the coffee cups which were far too big for the machine , and so it happened that when my husband was making a coffee, the cup now with hot coffee toppled over, scalding his hand and thus creating a large stain on the carpet. Whoever thought that putting large tea cups by a coffee machine that takes espresso size cups was a good idea? attention to detail.. Dinner in the restaurant was a farce. We waited a good while to be assisted to an available table - there were quite a few empty and unlaid tables, so when I asked the waiter for us to be seated at a somewhat larger table, his instant reaction was a very firm NO.. as it was supposed to be FOR FOUR PEOPLE - NOT TWO!! It hadn't even been laid up for 4 people.. and so I asked if he was expecting 4 people to arrive when there were so many other tables available. But the man said NO, and so NO it was.. It could only get better .. or could it? he placed us on a small empty table and then it took ages for him to arrive with the cutlery. We then waited another 15 or so minutes before he came with the menu on a blackboard,. By now we didn't even want to be in the restaurant any longer so we asked for something simple like an omelette, again the answer was a firm NO, and by this point we just decided to have some cheese and bread to share and be done with it. that too took an age to make its way to our table. All in all not a good experience so after our cheese and bread supper we upped and left and went back to our room We ended up staying for 2 nights as it was really comfortable - plus we needed a good rest, and we avoided the restaurant at all cost A very special thanks to Christiane!
